The United States averages about 1200 tornadoes per year, which would work out to about 3600 tornadoes in an average 3-year period.
Since records began in 1950 there have been 157 confirmed tornadoes in Massachusetts. However, in the early part of this period many of the weaker tornadoes were missed, so the actual number of tornadoes is probably significantly higher.
Tornadoes are sometimes divided into "weak" tornadoes "strong" and "violent" tornadoes. Weak tornadoes are those rated EF0 and EF1. Most tornadoes are weak. Strong tornadoes are those rated EF2 and EF3. Violent tornadoes are those rated EF4 and EF5. They are the rarest of tornadoes, only about 1% of tornadoes are this strong.
Since official record began in 1950 through 2013, Washington has recorded 109 tornadoes. The actual number of tornadoes is likely higher, as we missed many of the weaker tornadoes early in this period.
There are different types of tornadoes based on their size, strength, and formation. The most common classification system for tornadoes is the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 to EF5 based on the tornado's estimated wind speeds and damage potential.
There were 1,098 confirmed tornadoes in the United States in 2007.
